Fleet drivers are being urged to take advantage of a free battery check at their local ATS Euromaster centre with the onset of autumn and winter.

The clocks going back on Sunday (October 25) normally heralds the start of car and van batteries being put under increased strain, owing to drivers requiring extended use of their headlights and heating system, whilst the colder temperatures at this time of year also reduce battery performance.

ATS Euromaster’s free battery checks are available at any of its fast-fit centres across England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland and take around five minutes.
